Nonverbal Autism

[@domajoh]

She got that "No!" out loud and clear on the first attempt! 🤣 . You are doing such a good job teaching her sharing Precious! Love you both!! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

[@sweetbrownsuga504]

She meant that 😂

[@tonitwitty9529]

Yes she did! 😂❤​@@sweetbrownsuga504

[@tritri1466]

😂😂😂 its brownie come on 😂😂😂😂

[@cjizzleismynizzle]

What an awesome moment to catch! It sounded like she said "No, NO MA!

[@mzmorris6562]

No problem at all with saying NO😅

[@DestinyRoxHope]

Her "NO" and "thankyou" and "yeah" were so clear 😀🥳💗

[@murrir6110]

That is what I was thinking. I love Mikko, you and her dad. God bless your family.

[@yafriendsfriend]

right 😂 she said what she said

[@valencia9981]

They way she micmicked the 'thank you', I wonder if that's how you sound to her. 😂

[@lindywheeler4192]

I was wondering the same thing. Mom does have a high pitch voice sometimes. Mikko picks up on everything, thats one smart little girl. Kudos to both Mom and Dad, their children have the right parents. They're all amazing!

[@VirgoJeannie]

😂😂

[@JessInTheCityy]

​@@lindywheeler4192Children on the spectrum are typically highly intelligent, there's just a disconnect that makes it hard to express themselves, be it verbally or emotionally. The fact that Mikko is starting to speak shows just how much effort mom and dad have put into helping this sweet girl! Absolutely kudos to them ❤

[@peonygummy3022]

One of the students I teach in nonverbal and mimicks VERY well. He says "oh no!" In my exact voice even when he's not around me because I'm the only one that says it like that.

[@valencia9981]

@@peonygummy3022 🤣🤣 that's cute.

[@DeeDeeInTN]

What a resounding "NO!"😂 Way too adorable! With that sweet little 'thank you.' ❤❤❤❤

[@quantezwatts436]

[@pammorton6905]

Mikko was making it loud and clear she doesn’t want to share that gorgeous brownie 😂😂😂

[@catra1733]

Fr 😭😭🤚

[@WillemPenn]

OMG. I so felt that autistic meltdown coming on with that first one. Amazing that she got her piece back and she did not go into meltdown. I know how hard it is for me as “high functioning” (gawd I hate that term because it is so misleading as so disrespectful to others on the spectrum) to contain things once the meltdown trigger happens. I just felt it in my chest at that moment and was so grateful you were so quick to return her brownie to her. I know it isn’t anything about her not wanting to share, about her not having empathy for you or others. If she is anything like me and other verbal autistics she may just be feeling a lack of agency and struggling with having to make decisions too quickly. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. Both of you are amazing. 🙏❤

[@tonitwitty9529]

❤️❤️❤️

[@laragara]

We all feel the same!!!

[@user-fc2xk3uv8y]

high functioning is also a term that originates from n-zi germany, something a lot of people dont know. its not just misleading but was used to justify the g-nocide of autistic people.

[@autumnbreeze_official]

Instead of high functioning, I've been using high masking or low needs for myself.

[@WillemPenn]

@@autumnbreeze_official I like high masking. I am not sure “low needs” captures where I am in my journey of self-acceptance. I realize now I do have a lot of needs but I have just accepted the blame (lazy, highly emotional, picky, inflexible) for not having those needs met as if it they are character defects and not aspects of my disability.

[@rochellethompson766]

I love her little "Thank you!" At the end ❤

[@feliciachew3583]

You could hear that NO loud and clear. Good Job mommy for teaching Mikko how to share. IT'S BEAUTIFUL ❤

[@sandyruther2745]

You are doing such a good job. Teaching a child that age to share is difficult. I love that she is learning to talk.

[@SarsUndead]

That "NO! No, no!" And then "thank yew!" ❤❤ Y'all are doing just absolutely wonderful!

[@pattikyle5918]

I love you both so much. Mikko's verbal skills are getting better every time I see your videos. You're doing great, Mom!

[@lilmai2616]

I love when Mikko mimics you she is too funny😂😂😂😂 That "Thank You" was priceless. ❤❤🎉

[@user-ll8yv5fs9m]

❤❤❤❤ I do to. I don't know that much about autism, but I have been learning so much with you and Mikko. Keep up the good work Mikko and mom. I pray 🙏🙏 for you and your family family.

[@caseyob2690]

Momma you're doing such an amazing job!!!! Bless you both!❤

[@ruthcalfee7868]

All of the frustrations, long hours of dedication, love, kindness, and patience are paying off! Hearing Mikko say “Thank you” so clearly is music to my soul, just as I’m sure it is to yours!!! ❤❤❤

[@Rchelle_YAHsdaughter]

She is doing so well. The fact that she eventually shared, AND that beautiful, "Thank you" at the end snatched my heart. 😍😍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💖

[@PhancyPants12]

Okay but that first No, I felt that. I’ve been there. Don’t touch my brownie

[@Hawaii1313]

That NO, IS EXCELLENT❗️SHE IS NOT PASSIVE‼️ PEACE&LUV🥰

[@Tubigirl]

That was a beautiful no! Baby girl needs to share but I'm so happy to hear her verbalize her frustration with you trying to take her good brownie!❤❤😂

[@keepitmoving777]

😂😂😂 We all understood that “NO!” Loud and clear. Great job Mom! She is learning and utilizing her skills! I’m so proud of her!!! Great job! I also love her voice inflections. She is definitely learning from you and it’s amazing! Keep up the great work.

[@natashaswain7478]

[@margaritanavarrete1246]

Lmao my neice hates sharing 😂 even when I ask, she tells me to leave her alone 😂😂😂😂😂

[@kinayabk1470]

It's a gradual process with Mikko. The 1st attempt was too much. I love her and i learn so much ❤

[@cindybrown3920]

That loud indicates that Mikko can indeed speak. It's just left her to start when she's comfortable with it

[@sduolcepoh7502]

Exactly

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Mikko, your sweet tooth is showing. Happy to see that you eventually shared with Mommy. ❤

[@serenapatrias5841]

She's not really non verbal. She's pretty verbal when she wants to be.❤❤❤❤

[@susancerruti6410]

Sharing is a skill all children have to learn. Miss Miko understood what mommy wanted and she followed through. Good girl!

[@aalee8516]

Nice instruction back in forward with both of you! Like how you were both in control. Your letting make her own decision not forcing it. Gave her independence and strength of choice. Smooth!

[@use-MINDYOWN]

Promise I’ve always heard that baby mimicking her Mother. Great job❤

I love your videos. It gives me so much hope for my nonverbal baby. Thank you so much for sharing your lives and journey with us. ❤❤❤

[@donnapaige1881]

She already knows when she wants to share and when she doesn’t. It’s really her decision but she has a ❤ and is willing to share. That the typical attitude of most kids not sharing especially when they are the only child. Mikko is so loving though.❤😊

[@meaganevoy]

Oh what a sweet girl! I absolutely love seeing her grow and learn and overcome! Thank you for sharing your lives with us. ❤

[@Raven-dt6jf]

She is absolutely precious. She is growing so big and strong and beautiful! I just love her sweet little self!

[@rosemariemoore1929]

Her speech is greatly improving!

[@dionemartins0212]

That is AMAZING! Miko is so beautiful. You and your husband is doing an amazing job in raising her.

[@cortney2631]

You are amazing! You have helped Mikko get super far in her verbalizations. What a lovely and loving mom ❤. I know it can't be easy, but I see your dedication to teach and be gentle with your daughter. You are a gem!

[@mirotiny]

i love watching your content so much it brings me a lot of joy and healing. i’m autistic and when i was little i was forced to be verbal or i would get in trouble that now as an adult i have constant verbal shut downs and i try my best to not force myself speak because i get so much anxiety and panic when someone talks to me and i don’t respond. it’s extremely draining forcing words out and i’m learning to unmask. so it makes me so happy just how much you are gently parenting your kid because you also realized that you’re on the spectrum yourself instead of pretending you’re “normal”. kudos to you for being an amazing parent unlike my mom who is still doubting my late diagnosis and not doing the effort to try to understand me and thinks i’m trying to take revenge on her when i don’t speak or when i stim. she constantly tells me i look like i belong in a “mental hospital”

[@harrisonia]

Whaaat?!?!? 😆 Way to go, Mikko! 👏🏽 That NO had me rolling! Awww, but so sweet, she did finally allow you to have some. She's learning "little piece" vs all. 🥰👍🏽

[@lashawnyabooker8117]
